If _I_ was picking user-unfriendly places, I'd personally go for

What was wrong in Barcelona? (I've never been to Madrid, so can't

For me it was 2 attempts to steal my wallet during a 3 night stay.

I have yet to see a breakfast buffet in Germany, where you couldn't
refill your glass of juice as many times as you liked (provided the

Yes, lots of pickpockets and bag thieves there and in Madrid, use
some sort of security system in both cities.
